A healthy definition of love is crucial to understanding the central message of the Bible. According to the Bible, love is not confined to sexuality, nor is it primarily a feeling at all.
The Bible teaches that love is a commitment. As a commitment, love is not dependent on good feelings, but rather on the consistent and courageous decision to extend oneself for the
well-being of another. That commitment then produces good feelings, not the other way around. Jesus became the perfect demonstration of God's unconditional love for us by laying down His life for our benefit.
God's love for us never fails.
Exactly. Very well said and so very true. Too bad lots of people don't get this concept at all.
